My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)

Chapter 99 

Melanie had just finished tidying Lily’s desk when a woman approached. 

“Excuse me, Madam, I think you’re in the wrong seat. This is my daughter’s seat,” Susan said gracefully, smiling brightly. She had never met Melanie before and didn’t know she 

was Mrs. Laurier. 

Melanie glanced up at Susan, leaning back in her chair with grace. “I’m in the right seat,” she replied. 

Melanie knew Susan. She had seen photos of her while investigating the Martinez family before this. She didn’t like Susan. 

A woman who could abandon her newborn child and constantly exploit her daughter for her own gain was someone she couldn’t stand. 

Susan paused for a moment, taken aback. “This is Lily’s seat. She’s my daughter. Who are you?” 

Susan was aware of the upper–class families at Ember Creek High School and didn’t dare to be rude to anyone. Besides, she always maintained an elegant and refined demeanor in public. She had to keep up appearances. 

“I’m Lily’s mother–in–law, Melanie,” Melanie replied coldly, looking at Susan with indifference. 

Anya’s father, who was standing nearby, looked at Melanie in surprise Then, he quickly turned away 

Susan froze in place upon hearing Melanie’s response, unable to react for a moment. 

After a while, she regained her composure and hurriedly tried to make amends. “Oh, Mrs. Laurier, I’m sorry for not recognizing you. Lily really should have informed me. How could she trouble you?ll definitely talk to her about it.” 

“Mrs. Martinez, Lily is my daughter–in–law, which makes her my daughter. Attending parent–teacher conferences for her is not a bother. And you don’t need to scold her as it’s not your place to do so,” Melanie said, her expression remaining cold. 

If it weren’t for the parent–teacher conference about to start and the presence of many people in the classroom, Melanie would have surely confronted Susan. 

How could she let this kind of person bully her precious daughter–in–law? 

Susan felt embarrassed. “Mrs. Laurier, that’s not necessary. Lily is my daughter, and attending parent–teacher conferences is my responsibility.” 

“Your responsibility?” Melanie chuckled. “That won’t be necessary. From now on, she’s the responsibility of the Laurier family.” 

“BUL” 

Susan wanted to say something more, but Melanie’s leave now.” 

e’s expression turned cold. “The parent–teacher conference is about to begin. If there’s nothing else, Mrs. Martinez, you should 

As soon as Susan met Melanie’s icy gaze, she shivered and lowered her head. “Alright then.” 

Melanie ignored her. 

After Susan left, Anya’s father turned to Melanie. “Did Lily get married at just 19?” 

“No, she’s just engaged,” Melanie replied, her expression softening 

Anya’s father nodded. “It’s clear you’re a good mother–in–law.” 

“Of course” Melanie finally smiled 

Outside the classroom, Loid and Lily had just arrived and saw Susan coming out of the classroom. She looked disheveled and defeated. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Lily looked at the classroom. She raised her eyebrows slightly, showing a soft smile, 

Tan, who had arrived earlier, approached Lay. He looked at Melanie inside the classroom and said cheekly, “Lily, is that your mom? Wow, she’s really beautiful. You definitely got those strong genes.” 

Lily was quite well–known at school, and many students were curious to see

As a result, students were crowding around the window of classroom 18 to take a look 

Lily glanced at lan. “No, she’s not.” 

“Huh?” Jan was confused. “She’s not your mom? Then who is she?” 

“My future mother–in–law,” Lily replied proudly,
